Regarding safety, I read last week that crocodile egg gatherers in
Australia (going rate AU$35 per viable croc egg) trudge through wetlands
& swamps looking for eggs unattended. The Australian worksman safety
nannies have now required steel toed boots for that occupation. An
employed egg gatherer noted that if he screwed up and found himself
between eggs and irate mother, she would as soon take his whole leg as a
toe. He added that accepted industry technique consists of running very
fast and climbing a tree, which actions are impeded by heavy boots.

There's lots of weirdness out there. In the first report I heard about
this sad incident

the news reporter said "The children were not wearing seat belts."
